What is Majorana Fermions in 1D Nanowires about?
Majorana fermions are particles that are their own antiparticles. They were originally proposed as elementary particles but have also been realized as emergent quasiparticles in condensed matter systems like topological superconductors. Kitaev introduced a toy model of a 1D nanowire with spinless fermions, p-wave superconductivity, and a chemical potential of zero. This results in unpaired Majorana modes at each end of the nanowire that are spatially separated and topologically protected. Later works showed
